BS There is already a program in place to verify SS#'s for employment. Comes back in a matter of seconds. Can be done via phone or puter. No more excuses of ....the docs looked real.
Companies could be investigated on a random basis.
How did we ever enforce the immigration laws before?
As a matter of fact how do we enforce any laws?
If laws can't be enforced, all of them, then why the heck do we bother with laws?
What a weak argument "it would cost too much" is.
The only number out there is $240 billion. Want the illegal aliens out? Furnish the cost.
Heck, all you have to do is pull up IRS tax return data and look at ITNS, plus some other indicators.
Go after the companies with large numbers of non matching employee names/ssns.
Publicize the heck out of it.
This is a lack of will, not a lack of ability.
